VISUAL PROMPT
Prompt submitted by Tenshi

Write a poem about what streetlights make you think of.
Dating Hope
Walking home from another bad ending
I tend to overthink things
These past few days have molded and blended
I can’t tell if this is my new song to sing
Do I belong in the world or do I cross over
The street now or down the block?
How do I handle the thing on my shoulder
Fuck, rain clouds pour out like the tears I’ve fought
Looking up, the streetlights show me how vast the sky is
How there always a new light as we turn
I wrote down my hopes for this new dawn, signed with a kiss
The farther I travel from home, the less bridges I have to burn
